I'm tired of the plain old mechanical push button analog for on-screen buttons. I long ago gave up on Microsoft blah standard grey, and my applications come with marble or fine wood, and polished gold lettering.
But while there are other button themes around, I would love to have the entire screen
(or at least the active application window) ripple like a pond when the user clicks an active element. And go "plop," of course.
[If this is in fact Baked, I guess I haven't been paying attention. If anyone knows how to go about Baking this, screen ripple algorithms, for example, or a nice "plop" sound, please provide links.]

Click the middle button on the desktop, go to Desktop> FX - Ripples (once you've installed it). [galukalock, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

I’d really like to have my entire screen ripple like a sheet of water in a rainstorm. All the time. I’ve looked everywhere for this, but without any luck... |
|

I'm likin' it. Croissant! |

The Enlightenment window manager for X11 (think Linux) has a ripple effect and a wave effect. Each covers the bottom tenth or so of the screen. Activate, and it appears as though you're computing at the sea's edge, the rippling (or waving, or both) water reflecting the midair windows and wallpaper sky... |

Baked or not, I still like it. |

Enlightenment is no good for Windows users (and Curry does mention Microsoft, so presumably that's what he needs). |
|
| |
Doesn't comet cursor have this? |
|

Durnit waugs! You beat me to it, I forgot to mention that in my anno. Here, I'll put it in the link. |

<shoehorn meaning="you can make it fit, but it's still trouble">Actually, if you download something called Cygwin, I think you could run X11, and run Enlightenment in it.</shoehorn> |

Why on earth would anyone ever want to do that? |

Duh! Clearly the benefits of viewing this ripple effect outweigh the benefits having a healthy computer. |

I don't run Enlightenment off of Windows, per 'healthy computer' concerns (I don't run Windows either, unless I have to). So I use Linux. I get Enlightenment and a healthy computer in one shot. |
